This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is found on thymocytes and mature T cells. It plays an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell/B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

close association of aberrant CD7 expression and FLT3/ITD mutation in the myeloblasts of FLT3/ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia suggests that FLT3/ITD- mediated leukemic transformation occurs in the more early stage of myeloid progenitor cells

HTLV-I infection of WE17/10 CD4+ cell line leads to progressive alteration of Ca2+ influx that eventually results in loss of CD7 expression and activation of an antiapoptotic pathway involving AKT and BAD which paves the way for malignant transformation.
